CAMP WEEK
This week, our Year 7 to 11 students ventured on camp across various locations. These experiences offered our girls the chance to boost their confidence, participate in a range of diverse activities, forge new friendships beyond the College setting, and push their boundaries. The activities were crafted to challenge students’ abilities, promote teamwork, and encourage independence. All camps were a wonderful success!
Year 7
Our Year 7s travelled to beautiful Mungalli Falls for an action-packed adventure. They developed friendships and team building skills through a range of activities including low ropes, obstacle courses, archery, raft building, and art activities. This camp put the girls in unfamiliar surroundings, helping them develop independence, self-confidence, and resilience.
Year 8
Echo Creek Adventure Camp is where our Year 8s used the environment and a range of outdoor pursuits to develop intrapersonal and interpersonal relationships. Abseiling, rock wall climbs, archery, challenge courses, raft building, and a healing pond walk brought the students together, forcing them out of their comfort zones, to create lifelong memories.

Our Year 9s ventured to Camp Gedling where they experienced the environment through a range of team building activities and outdoor adventures. The camp was situated in Herveys Range where students were fortunate to complete various activities including: high ropes, mountain biking, abseiling, archery, and an Amazing Race!

Year 10 had a fantastic time at Genazzano Retreat in Yungaburra. In this beautiful setting, the girls were able to use the perfect outdoor environment for team building activities; canoeing on the lake, raft building, challenge and initiative activities, and Beach Olympics. The students had a great time stepping out of their comfort zones and working together to create amazing memories.
Year 11
Year 11 camp on Magnetic Island at Apex Camps was tailored to develop leadership skills, qualities and potential in our Year 11 students as future leaders of the College. The camp focused on providing students with the opportunity to further develop communication and teamwork skills, compassion, and the ability to push their limits and challenge themselves in a variety of activities and situations. Blessed with incredible weather, students partook in some fun activities – raft building, bush walking, stand-up paddle boarding, radio rogaine, and leadership workshops!
Year 12 Retreat
Amaroo on Mandalay, Magnetic Island was the perfect tranquil setting for our senior students to focus on personal growth, self-awareness and looking to the future. The girls participated in a variety of activities that offered relaxation, group fun, and reflective practices, focusing on meaningful connections and a sense of a hope and optimism for their final year of school and beyond. Our Year 12 girls had the opportunity to connect and relax before their final academic studies and College departure.
